Linux Setup

August 8, 2014

I am new in MB3. I spent a whole lot of time to follow the instruction to install the MB3 in ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit). When I tried to run this I got this:

root@our-server:~/MediaBrowser/Docker# sudo docker run -d --net=host -v /opt/appdata/mbserver:/MBServer/ProgramData-Server -v /home/server/MediaBrowser/Docker/testPic:/media -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --name=mbserver mediabrowser/mbserver

Can anyone help please?

The version of Docker in the Ubuntu packages is old, and does not recognize the --net command. Uninstall that version, and look at the instructions here to get the latest: http://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/

You can install it manually or just use the curl script they provide.

never mind. I added 1.1.X version of docker which were able to rn the server finally. But the url, it get created after the server started, is not working. it shows "Unable to connect" notice . Here is the log:

Hello all. Is there any update to when there will be an easier method to install MBS on Linux? I am a totally new person to Linux and installing via the terminal attempting the instructions on the 1st page with every method has failed completely for me. I know that I must be doing something wrong here but I just have not been able to figure it out as of yet.

I have tried reading up on various sites on how to use the terminal but most of the commands mentioned on the first page seem foreign to me and most tutorials I find only show you how to get around inside of Linux folders, create folder, files, view how many files are in a folder, etc.

I am getting a bit frustrated with Linux in general at this point and I am not sure I understand why anyone would want to use the terminal to look at their folders when you can just go to them via the GUI.

Anyway, just checking because I was successful at installing XBMC via the terminal with their PPA and I think I understand that pretty much. However, all of this Docker stuff just gets confusing to me.

Sorry for the mini rant here, but I was really hoping to test out the server on my old computer to ensure I could install and run it successfully before trying to move over to Linux on my main Server computer but it looks like I am too dumb to figure this out which is not usually a problem for me to learn new things when I have directions right there to follow. But right now, I can't seem to make sense out of the directions.

Are the non-Docker releases discontinued?

August 15, 2014

no

So the last revisions just fixed Win / Mac related stuff?

August 15, 2014

There's a new build up to match the stable server release.

August 16, 2014

no

August 16, 2014

no. i don't generally do mono builds throughout the dev/beta process.

I have a fairly newbie question. Is anyone running MB3 Server on linux accessing a ServerWMC machine? The channel guide works fine. Live streaming does not. I have not tried playing back a recorded show. I get this error message under Settings/Live TV:

"Unavailable (Recorded TV folder ‘\\TK-PC\Recorded TV’ not accessible. Please make sure the Recorded TV folder used by WMC for new recordings is a shared folder. Once done, the network path to this folder must be set in ServerWMC (see ‘Folders’ tab in ServerWMC).)"

I have my share mounted to /mnt/livetv for now, and I have rw access.

Anyone have any luck trying this?

http://paste2.org/F8CXw8Ab

Also, I have a MB3 Server install on the same machine as ServerWMC, and LiveTV steaming works just fine.

EDIT: This is a log from a failed attempt to steam a recorded show.

One more thing. Is a Celeron 2955U just not enough to transcode 1080p content? I'm struggling to keep up with that CPU in an ASUS Chromebox.

Hi @@Luke - so how do I get the 5340 docker build? When I re-clone from git, it keeps giving me 5326.

More generally, what is the simple mechanism to update (as auto download-then-update, like in the Windows version, doesn't seem to happen).

Thanks!!

Anyone get this to work on a Synology NAS?

August 17, 2014

FYI I've correctly made Media Browser Server runnning on Debian 6.0 (x86).

After several tries with Docker and trying to compile Mono from source, post #95068 helped a lot.

Download and install you distro package from URL : http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=mono-opt
Play with symbolic links to point to the correct mscorlib.dll
changed symbolic link to point to the correct libgdiplus.so library thus making image not correctly displayed

Thank for this good piece of software !

Keep on the good work.

2014-08-18 23:13:35.0359 Info - App: Scan media library Failed after 1 minute(s) and 39 seconds

That got fixed in the windows version yesterday i think, a fix should be out asap.

** Media Library Scan Fails **

Server installed in a docker container, seems to come up okay and run but media scan fails repeatedly (never completes).

Here's a log snippet.

2014-08-18 23:13:35.0359 Info - App: Scan media library Failed after 1 minute(s) and 39 seconds

August 22, 2014

Is there a easy way to install it on Ubuntu ?

August 22, 2014

It is currently being worked on.

August 22, 2014

Are there some easy instructions for the upgrade? I have the mono installed and media browser mostly working, it gets stuck scanning my movie directories...

August 22, 2014

A new release is up to match the windows release.

August 23, 2014

After posting all of the above, I was inspired to do an update to my package to more elegantly handle starting mono as a systemd service.

If you download this tar archive and extract it, you should find all of the files that you are wanting to run MBS fairly cleanly on a systemd machine.

To give you an idea of the install structure that I have laid out:

Systemd unit file: /etc/systemd/system/mediabrowser-server.service

Binary build of the server: /opt/mediabrowser-server

Program data: /var/opt/mediabrowser-server

How do you handle the updates with this configuration?

August 23, 2014

How do you handle the updates with this configuration?

The updates are actually very simple. As I am running my server on Arch, everything is handled by the PKGBUILD and pacman. The only files that are touched in the update are the binaries sitting in /opt/mediabrowser, bash file located at /usr/bin/mediabrowser-server, and the systemd file. The database is not handled by the package so the update leaves the database alone.

Starting and stopping the server is handled by the systemd file. In fact, if you try to launch MB with the bash file, you get an error unless your pwd is /opt/mediabrowser.

The update process really is just a simple update of the server binaries and any extra tweaks I add to the other files to make the package better.

Recently, I just added a system user so that mediabrowser was no longer running as root. I also changed the names of some of the files so that the naming was less cumbersome.

All of the files that detail how the package works are in the Arch AUR.

August 23, 2014

I install a fresh copy of Ubuntu Server 14.04 in Virtualbox. I installed the following packages:

git / autoconf / libtool / automake / g++ / gettext / make

I can successfully do ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local' but when i do 'make' it finishes with a error:

if test -w /tmp-mono/mono/mcs; then :; else chmod -R +w /tmp-mono/mono/mcs; fi
cd /tmp-mono/mono/mcs && make --no-print-directory -s NO_DIR_CHECK=1 PROFILES='net_2_0 net_3_5 net_4_0 net_4_5 xbuild_12   ' CC='gcc' all-profiles

make[6]: *** [build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe] Error 127
*** The compiler 'gmcs' doesn't appear to be usable.
*** You need Mono version 2.10 or better installed to build MCS

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

How to proceed further?

Edited August 23, 2014 by MvL

August 23, 2014

well this looks like something worth checking out

*** You need Mono version 2.10 or better installed to build MCS

August 23, 2014

Did I get the wrong version? I downloaded from the link on the first page, finally got it updated and now when going through the setup routine I see this window. Surprised to see that is says a "Windows Service" is being installed on my Ubuntu 14.04 Linux...
